New York - Upper West Side

 
The Upper West Side turned residential in the 1870s when the Ninth Avenue El (elevated railroad) finally made commuting to downtown possible. The Dakota, New York's first luxury apartment building, sprung up in 1884, brownstones and other buildings soon followed suit in the area. Today, the Upper West Side is home to cultural landmarks such as the Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History.
